SHORT BREAKS AVAILABLE OUT OF PEAK SEASON FROM £50 per night subject to a minimum of 3 nights. (Duvets included - bring your own sheets/towels/ etc.) . Please check our calendar for availability.
Beachcombers rest provides self catering accommodation situated on a select and peaceful site within walking distance of Caswell Bay. It is the perfect accommodation for those looking for a quiet but central base to suit all tastes with wonderful sands and safe surfing in the bay itself. The scenic delights of Mumbles and the Gower Peninsular are within easy reach. With little mobile phone signal you won't be disturbed! We also welcome well behaved dogs but unfortunately do not accept bookings from all male / female groups as this site and the local beach is family orientated. The popular seaside resort of Mumbles is a short distance away as is the city of Swansea. For full details please visit our website.
Please note there is no phone line and mobile phone coverage is sparse - Vodavone gets better reception than O2.
Dogs are not allowed on the nearest beach April-September (inc) but there are several local walk and not too distant beaches on which they are allowed.
Wi-fi all inclusive. The Wi-Fi is provided site wide and at peak times streaming video will be frustrating! Perfect though for general internet browsing and e-mails. In winter 2017 the wi-fi system has been updated which we are told will improve streaming - to this end we have installed a SMART TV with access to Netflix provided and test runs have shown that there is no buffering!
Electricity is via a £1-£2 coin meter but shouldn't come to more than £15-£20 a week unless heating is left on for long periods. Please note electricity costs will be more in the colder months as the heating is electric but this is reflected in the lower rental costs charged for these months
Our change over day during peak periods is a Friday. Out of season there is no set change over day.
Guests can arrive any time after 6.00pm on their arrival date and must vacate by 2pm on departure day. This we hope will enable guests to enjoy a full weekend in Swansea if they wish and to pack a little more leisurely when leaving!
On the grass directly in front of the chalet we have now installed a Picnic Bench and decking. This is exclusively for the use of our guests to enable you to dine outside on a sunny day!
This partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
We spent many happy weekends at Beachcombers Rest with the children during school holidays and summer weekends. However the children have now flown the nest and living in Swansea ourselves found the chalet was underused which given it's location was a real shame.
This is now our third year of letting and we use the income generated to maintain the chalet and make improvements year on year.
We hope that those who chose to stay will go home with similar happy memories to those that we have.
If you have any questions about the chalet or the area please do not hesitate to contact us.
Mark & Caroline
Mark Sheehan purchased this chalet in 2002
Caswell Bay is is such a beautiful bay with a sandy beach and lots of small rock pools. Children love it and those who want a more secluded spot can walk around the bay and find a quiet spot to sun bathe and read.
'Beechcombers Rest is a smartly presented chalet with everything you would need for a week away. We took the kids and found it very clean and comfortable with space to cook and eat. You are situated about 150 metres from Caswell Bay beach, which was fantastic, with the good quality Cafe for light lunch's and coffee and shop for ice creams and beach toys and alike. Jumping in the car we visited the beaches at Oxwich ( great for rock pools, sand dunes and dogs ) and Rhossilli, which really is as good as the photos & reviews, just amazing. The Mumbles is a short distance from the chalet and is obviously an affluent area and possibly a bit more sophisticated than Swansea. There are some nice boutique shops and places to eat, along with Verdi's ice cream parlour. The communication from the owners, Mark & Caroline, was excellent and we had a very enjoyable experience. I would thoroughly recommend this property to friends and relatives. 5 Stars.'
Right from our arrival, the place gave us a comfortable feeling and the very welcome chocolate cake and milk in the fridge too!
Then while making our beds we found packets of sweets under the pillows, another lovely touch.
The chalet was very clean and very well equipped with all we needed for our holiday. The owners had certainly given a lot of thought to not only the themed decor but to the things people need for a relaxing break.
A good selection of leaflets and maps to find your way around the area and other attractions was a great help.
As we had planned to have many walks the maps were a great help. Also, as we were a bit late in the season, and the nights drawing in, it was good to have the TV and DVD player for cosy nights in. A good selection of games and DVD's meant we were well entertained.
I would certainly recommend this chalet and in such a lovely location, so many walks right from the door, we could almost forget the car!
Highly recommend this Beachcomber Rest.
A wonderfully equipped chalet just a short walk from the stunning Caswell Bay - we are a family of 4 and had everything we could need for a great holiday - we were blessed with good weather and made the most of the outdoor seating area. Immaculately clean - really well equipped - there were surf boards and bucket and spades waiting for us. We will definitely be back - thanks for the chance to stay in such a breath taking location - we had a wonderful
We have had three fantastic family holidays at Beachcomber's Rest.
Very comfortable chalet and even without a car we were able to enjoy the stay. Hourly bus service from sea front into Mumbles and Swansea so convenient. We were blessed with a sunny week and made full use of the picnic table for outdoor dining and the decking for sunshine and snoozing.
The chalet has all the facilities one would reasonably expect. It is located along with several others (all well maintained) in an attractive valley that leads down to Caswell Bay. There is a road running down the side of the site, but we found this quiet at night and is the means of access to the site and bay. Exploring Gower by foot or car are both easy options from this chalet particularly as the owner has supplied lots of leaflets and maps..
The Chalet was spot on.
Situated in a great place. Lovely neighbours, the girls loved it 1:Wi-Fi 2:Netflix,
All you can hear in the morning is the morning chorus .
Recommended big time.

A psychiatric exam was ordered this morning to determine the sanity of the woman accused of slashing her 4-year-old daughter to death in the belief that would save her from becoming an Internet sex slave.
Marci Webber, 43, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Magdalene M. "Maggie" Webber in a Bloomingdale townhouse last week, and is being held on $5 million bond. The girl's throat had been slashed, almost severing her head.
Webber listened intently as she was told by DuPage Judge George Bakalis that what she tells the clinical psychologist could be used in court if her sanity is questioned.

The Breathe app guides you through a series of deep breaths, and it reminds you to take time to breathe every day. Choose how long you want to breathe, then let the animation and gentle taps help you focus.
Start a session
- Press the Digital Crown to go to the Home screen, then open the Breathe app.
- Turn the Digital Crown to set the session's length.
- Tap Start when you're ready. Remember to stay still while you breathe.
- Inhale as the animation grows and your watch taps your wrist. Then exhale as the animation shrinks and the taps stop.
- Breathe until the session ends and your watch taps you twice and chimes.* When you're done, you can see your heart rate.
When you use the Breathe app, your watch mutes some notifications, so you can focus. If you answer a call or move too much during a session, the session ends automatically, and you won't get credit.
* If your watch doesn't chime, then Silent Mode is on.
Set the length of your session
When you open the Breathe app to start a new session, you can turn the Digital Crown to set the session's duration.
When you find a duration that you like, you can make it the default from your iPhone:
- Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone and tap the My Watch tab.
- Tap Breathe, then tap Use Previous Duration.
You can also change the length of each breath:
- Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone and tap the My Watch tab.
- Tap Breathe, then tap Breath Rate.
- Tap to change the number of breaths per minute.
Adjust or turn off reminders
Your Apple Watch reminds you throughout the day to breathe. You can adjust or turn off these reminders:
- Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone and tap the My Watch tab.
- Tap Breathe > Breathe Reminders.
- Choose how often you get reminders.
If a reminder coincides with an event in your calendar, like a meeting, if you're moving or exercising, or if you start a session on your own, your Apple Watch reschedules your reminder. You'll get the reminder a short time after your event is over or you stop moving.
Check how often you take time to use the Breathe app
You can track your sessions with the Health app:
- Open the Health app on your iPhone.
- Tap the Health Data tab.
- Tap Mindfulness, then tap the graph to see more.
At the end of each session, you can also see how many times you've used the Breathe app that day. Breathe sessions don't show up in the Activity app on your Apple Watch or iPhone.

Tips for enrolling in a Medicare Part D plan
Key Dates for Medicare Part D Annual Enrollment Period
Plan Information Available:
October 1
Enrollment Begins:
October 15
Enrollment Ends:
December 7
Note: The late enrollment penalty is 1% of the national average premium for every month you were without Part D prescription drug coverage or other creditable prescription drug coverage following your initial enrollment period, or if you had a break in creditable prescription drug coverage of 63 or more consecutive days. Creditable prescription drug coverage (for example, from an employer or union) means that it is expected to pay, on average, as much as Medicare's standard prescription drug coverage. You will pay this late enrollment penalty for as long as you have Part D coverage.
Enrolling in a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan (PDP) is an important process that requires time and research, but it shouldn't be a difficult one if you're prepared well in advance for any potential bumps in the road. Unfortunately, nine in 10 people wait until the last minute to select a plan. (more…)

I want to try striped bass and bluefish fishing from my boat once the season starts up again. I have a few questions 1. What depth are these fish at? in some videos on youtube I see them jigging on the bottom with buck tails and other times I see them fishing on the top or middle of the water with spoons and buck tails, so how would you know where they are? 2. How do you target them? if they are on the bottom how do you only catch stripers and bluefish without catching porgies, fluke, and sea bass?
Please only answer if you are an experienced fisherman.

Blackburn Rovers 0 Burnley 2
By Burnley FC
August 23 2017
Jack Cork and Robbie Brady got the goals as the Clarets eased past derby rivals Blackburn to book their place in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
Burnley have been on the wrong end of a run of cup upsets in recent seasons as their focus as often been elsewhere.
But there was no chance of a shock against League One Rovers as Sean Dyche's side showed their Premier League pedigree to send over 5,000 travelling fans home happy along the M65.
Cork was arguably the star of the show in a peerless midfield performance which also brought him his first goal since his return to Turf Moor in the summer.
And Brady then further reinforced his place in the affection of the Clarets' fans with a high-class second goal just before the break that all but booked Burnley's place in the last 32 as Dyche successfully showed his squad strength.
The Clarets made eight changes to their starting line-up as they looked for a first win in the competition since 2013.
That meant debuts for full-backs Phil Bardsley and Charlie Taylor and a first start for former Blackburn youngster Jon Walters.
It momentarily looked like an unhappy return for Walters as he needed lengthy treatment for an ankle injury in the opening minutes before getting the all-clear to carry on.

An Insight Into Dickinson's Portrayal of Death
Pale Death with impartial tread beats at the poor man's cottage door and at the palaces of kings. Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus, 65-8 B.C.)
Throughout the history of literature, it has often been said that "the poet is the poetry" (Tate, Reactionary 9); that a poet's life and experiences greatly influence the style and the content of their writing, some more than others. Emily Dickinson is one of the most renowned poets of her time, recognized for the amount of genuine, emotional insight into life, death, and love she was able to show through her poetry. Many believe her lifestyle and solitude brought her to that point in her writing. During Emily Dickinson's life, she suffered many experiences that eventually sent her into seclusion, and those events, along with her reclusiveness, had a great impact on her poetry. Emily Dickinson is well known for her poems on Death.
Death eventually comes to everyone, and yet it is a phenomenon shrouded in mystery. Scholars and scientists try to understand it, philosophers pose theories and conclusions about it, artists try to capture it between streaks of paint across a canvas, while poets like Emily Dickinson explore it's meaning and influence through verse. Death is like an outward rush into the unknown where there is nothing recognizable and nothing to cling to. The unknown is always feared, and since nothing is known about death or an afterlife, people fear it. What Dickinson's poetry delves into is the undeniable power of death to detach one from life and the pain and sorrow that accompanies it like a dark cloud above it's head. In "There's a Certain Slant of Light" , Dickinson uses nature as the backdrop for her description of death, and the elements to describe the silent pain that it brings with it. The poem appears to create some sort of setting for the reader in order to portray this. The sight of a funeral procession entering a cemetery is probably an apt description of this setting. The slant of light is used to portray a heavenly beam that falls on the earth and brings a gloomy feeling with it. It could be the finger of God beckoning to the deceased to come to the heavenly abode or a divine path showing him the road to heaven. However, the light possesses a sort of weightiness: That oppresses, like the Heft
Of Cathedral Tunes.
This heaviness in the light may refer to the undecipherable feelings that one has, when you lose someone close to you. The second and third stanzas of the poem bring out the true profundity of these mixed emotions. Furthermore, both light and air are portrayed as symbolic of God, so that they become agents through whom God imposes His Heavenly Hurt upon the speaker, or maims her with His imperial affliction. The Heavenly Hurt may be described as the deep sorrow and pain that one feels when faced by the death of one's near and dear ones. The hurt is not physical, but emotional and psychological. It is probably deep within the speaker's heart Where the Meanings, are
For, when someone is lost in love, deeply hurt or excessively happy, it is hard to describe what one exactly feels or understands where exactly these feelings are coming from. She still cannot pinpoint the source of her anxiety. It comes quietly, seemingly 'Sent us of the Air-' . Coming back to the setting of the cemetery, we can envision the speaker standing a short distance away from the grave watching the procession on its way. She beholds before her the entire landscape as she watches the mourners approaching. She captures the solemnity and motionlessness of death by implying that time appears to stop for death. When it comes, the Landscape listens-
Shadows-hold their breath
What Dickinson is trying to say is that death is an irrefutable fact of life. It comes to everyone (as Horace says) and the stagnancy of time revealed in the quote above is only a depiction of her thoughts....

"Equilibrium" is about the journey of creating and cultivating the mindset that can help us to find the clarity and freedom from mental forces which undermine our potential and drive. It leads the reader through the exploration of core beliefs about life, society and own mind.
Mind Mastery is a project providing educational resources in the subjects of psychology and philosophy. The starting point for approaching all material published on this site and on the related Youtube channel is curiosity - curiosity and wonder is what brings us closer to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world that we are part of.
My name is Joanna and I started this project many years ago, I think it was sometime in the autumn of 2013. Since then, Mind Mastery went through many changes and, hopefully, improvements. My goals, however, stayed the same - to share what I know and what I don't know. In essence, this project is an expression of my own journey into the labyrinths of the mind and reality around us. To know that people can also benefit from what has been published is an extra bonus. Bonus, simply because stating that my aim is to help people would put be in a rather uncomfortable position of authority or 'I know it all' attitude which doesn't reprent the nature of what I'm doing - because I don't know everything and I'm on the same boat with everyone else. I believe that each individual is in the control of their life, however limited or unlimited that control is. If, however, anyone doubts their power or feels lost, I'm happy to provide a support in getting their life on track and in gaining the understanding of themselves and their life they might need.
The approach I use to solve everyday problems varies accordingly to the demands on the situation. I've been strongly influenced by Eastern Philosophies, Buddhism in particular. The clarity and simplicity of this school of thought often differs to our Western ways of chasing after success, material wealth and social position. Although these goals are important, they are not the most important if we look at our lives from the broader and more distanced perspective, and consider issues such as authenticity, joy, kindness, suffering, relationships and deeper connection with the life itself.
I pursued a degree in psychology, hoping that it will provide me with more opportunities for deepening my knowledge of life and mind. The skill of a structured analysis and critical thinking that it provided me with helps me to organize my thoughts and express them in the clearest way I'm currently capable of. I've been mostly driven towards social psychology and psychoanalysis. In fact, psychoanalysis is not that different from Buddhism, considering the practical part and ignoring the whole philosophy or ideology behind. Both schools aim to create the particular conditions or a state of the mind in order to face the content of the unconscious. It is precisely what bewitched me - that there is always more to find beyond what we already know and what we are aware of.
Due to the demands of the services I have been offering, I also pursued a short training in Life Coaching which provided me with skills necessary to organize the coaching practice, deal with technicalities, and improve my communication and rapport building skills.
Summing up all the influences cited above, that's what creates Mind Mastery. There are many more ideas I haven't discovered yet and many more that will cross my path. For now, however, I'm grateful for what helped me to grow and create this project.

Tornadoes and other storms in parts of Alabama Friday snapped power lines, damaged property and prompted school officials to end classes early.
Officials said several storm-related injuries were reported, but no deaths, The Huntsville Times reported.
Emergency officials said a rain-wrapped tornado was sighted in the Harvest area and that power was out in several areas, the Times reported.
Emergency Management Agency personnel in Limestone County reported two tornadoes touched down one on top of another, but there were no early reports of damage.
Severe weather in northern Madison County knocked down power lines and felled trees, officials said
The Birmingham News reported several school systems across the state closed early because of the threat of severe weather.
Storms also brought the potential for tornadoes to the Ohio and Tennessee valleys Friday, AccuWeather.com reported.
Severe weather slammed an area extending from Missouri into South Carolina with big chunks of hail, some reported as baseball-sized.
Meteorologists reported St. Louis was hit by hail that measured about a half inch in diameter. In Nashville, hail was described as nickel-sized.
Southeastern Missouri, southern and central Illinois, central and southern Indiana and western Kentucky were under a Potentially Dangerous Situation Tornado Watch issued by the National Weather Service, which said it issues only a handful of that type of watches during a year.
Lines of severe storms cascaded from northern Alabama through central and eastern Tennessee and into Kentucky, forecasters said.
"If you get hit by one storm, you can get hit by another," AccuWeather.com Expert Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said.
Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Nashville and Louisville, Ky., were among the cities most at risk for strong, intense and damaging tornadoes, AccuWeather.com said.
The area is part of a multistate region reporting at least 30 tornadoes responsible for 13 deaths Wednesday, from Nebraska and Kansas across southern Missouri to Illinois and Kentucky.
Six people were killed in Harrisburg, Ill., about 55 miles southwest of Evansville, Ind., when a house lifted up by a 170 mph tornado fell on them and crushed them. Three people were killed in southern Missouri, three in eastern Tennessee and one in northeastern Kansas.
A tornado, with winds of 111 mph to 135 mph, caused significant damage and dozens of injuries in the country music resort city of Branson, Mo. The city's waterfront area, 15 hotels and at least six signature theaters sustained extensive damage, officials said.
President Barack Obama spoke with the Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee and Kansas governors Thursday "to offer condolences" and federal help, the White House said.
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn was the first state leader to ask for assistance in damage assessment, a customary step before formally requesting federal aid.
The severe weather was forecast to diminish a bit as it whipped eastward from the nation's midsection toward the Appalachians Friday night, bringing somewhat less severe weather from Georgia through North and South Carolina Saturday.

Aquila Theatre Company brings Shakespeare to life at Norton Center
February 7, 2013 By Elizabeth Trollinger
Norton Center for the Arts: "Cyrano de Bergerac" (above) at
7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 14, and "The Taming of the Shrew"
at 8 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 15. There will also be several other
events related to the productions.
Shakespeare said, "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players … one man in his time plays many parts …" This holds especially true for members of the Aquila Theatre Company, who will soon perform two classic works at the Norton Center for the Arts.
The Aquila Theatre Company will present "Cyrano de Bergerac" at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 14 in Newlin Hall. There will also be a student matinee performance earlier that day for local schools which will be sign-language interpreted.
Prior to the performance that evening, members of the Centre community are invited to participate in the RED Letter Project, which asks the question, "What does love mean to you?" All are welcome to submit their responses—in a word, phrase, quotation or lyric—in red ink to one of the several Red Letter Boxes located around Centre's campus and the community by Feb. 12. At 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 14, a performance based on selected responses will take place in the Norton Center lobby. The RED Letter Project is sponsored and supported by the creative writing program at Centre, as well as the Norton Center for the Arts.
In its second performance, the Aquila Theatre Company presents "The Taming of the Shrew" at 8 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 15 in Newlin Hall. This performance will also be sign-language interpreted and counts as a convocation credit for students.
Prior to the performance, Centre professors will discuss adaptations of Shakespearean works in "Taming the Bard" at 7:15 p.m. in the Norton Center lobby. Stacey Peebles, assistant professor of English, and Philip White, associate professor of English, will specifically look at "Taming of the Shrew," one of the most widely-adapted of Shakespeare's plays, in its many reproductions and interpretations. All are welcome to attend the discussion. To read a blog post by White on "The Triumph of Shakespeare's Shrew," click here.
The Aquila Theatre Company will give a master class on the beauties and difficulties of performing Shakespeare from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Feb. 15 in Weisiger Theatre. The master class will look at methods of classical acting explored in the theatre company, as well as how textual analysis reveals directions meant for actors in Shakesperean plays.
The Aquila Theatre Company at Centre College's Norton Center for the Arts is funded in part by a grant from South Arts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts and the Kentucky Arts Council.

Moral philosopher Sissela Bok defines a lie as "any intentionally deceptive message which is stated." She defines deception more broadly, as encompassing "messages meant to mislead [others] ... through gesture, through disguise, by means of action or inaction, even through silence." This broader category of deception is the subject of study here. This Article will examine overt misstatements and deliberate omissions or failures to disclose information. The determining factor in identifying deception is the lawyer's intent. If the lawyer intends to deceive a client, he or she may accomplish this by telling a lie or by withholding information. Deception by omission and by commission are morally identical: the purpose and the consequences are the same.

Top of the table Sarries met there nearest rivals and put in their best performance of the season. Playing quality rugby and scoring 7 tries.
But it didn't start according to the Sarries script as the Stow centre broke blind and found his Fly Half with a nice inside pass and he strode over under the posts for a try which he converted.
This rattled the Sarries and Stow were unlucky not to add to their lead as the dominated for the next 10 minutes.
But finally the Sarries got their game going and a sweeping backs move saw Dan Hammond sprint over in the corner. This score turned the tied and shortly after a strong run by Lloyd Arkle saw flanker Chris Reid up in support who just managed to hold off the desperate covering to score under the posts. Surman converted. The only other chance to score in the half came from a penalty right in front of the posts which Surman blasted against the crossbar. 12-7 at half time.
The second half saw the Sarries cut loose. A deft flick from Skipper Darryl Francis found prop Lachlan Sharpe who powered towards the line just to be held up short, but that just set-up replacement prop and renowned try poacher Russ Morrisson to slip over. This was quickly followed up by a sweeping move that saw former Cheltenham North hooker Jim Connelly go over.
It was now all Sarries and Hammond scored his second, making it 8 tries in the last 3 games. Then the pack took over and from a great take in the line out by Rob Long saw them shunt the Stow 8 back a full 15 metres for hooker Connelly to grab his second. The last word was had by Buster Maz…..(sp) who finished off another fund move to score.
Stow to their credit never stopped trying but they were eventually no match for the Sarries pace and power.
Still a long way to go but a win next week over Minchinhampton will see the Sarries go into the Xmas break 8 out of 8 in the league.
Writer's man if the match, very tough one this week as there was not a bad Saracen player on the pitch but No. 8 Alex Bye for his power running and numerous turn overs gets the nod.

Title: Trixter
Series: The Trix Adventures, #1

Trix Woodcutter is the long prophesied Boy Who Talks to Animals. He's also a foundling prankster scamp who places his family under a sleeping spell so that he can run away from home. Compelled by a vision of his dead birthmother, Trix departs on the eve of a Great Catastrophe, only to find himself caught in the maelstrom. Armed with little more than his wits and the wisdom inherent in all fey-blooded youth, Trix confronts a legendary Animal King, faces off against a ghostly feline, rescues a damsel in distress, and discovers more about himself than he ever wished to know.
And this adventure is only the beginning.
You know from my previous reviews of Enchanted, Dearest, and Hero that I'm a Kontis fan. She deftly combines and explores multiple fairytales and folklore stories in the Woodcutter sisters books. Some are stronger than others, but all of them are funny and sweet, and very approachable.
I was bummed to learn that her previous publisher dropped contract, so I will never get to read about how Thursday became a Pirate Queen (I need that story, Alethea!). But I'm tickled that she went ahead and self-published this, the first in the tales of younger brother and foundling, Trixter.
Trix has been a sprite/Puckish character in the previous three books, which shady origins and an unspecified fated future. His adventures were very briefly hinted at in Hero, as Saturday undergoes her trials. And I have to say, I think I missed most of the fairytale references in here. It's definitely a novella, and only the precursor to the larger tale I'm sure we'll be getting in books two and three.
It was a quick, fun read, but I didn't get as into it as I did with the Woodcutter sister books. I think probably because the ending felt so abrupt, like we were missing half the book. For whatever reason, I didn't realize from the book length that this would be more of a teaser than a tale of the same epic length and journey as, say, Dearest.
So chalk that up to my bad. But in addition to this, I felt like the lack of a supporting cast of characters made the book feel a bit empty. Trix is an earnest trouble maker and felt absolutely true to what we've seen of him, but he also lacked a driving internal force that might make him feel more near and dear. Again, I think that's something that's going to get established during the trials of book two.
If you read any of the Woodcutter sisters books, I recommend picking this one up just to get context with what we've seen in Hero. It's a quick, fun read and will remind you why Arilland is the most fun fairytale theatre there is.

Mia San Mia (We are who we are)
JANCKER wrote:Carlo Ancelotti im SPORT1-Interview vor dem Saisonstart des FC Bayern [source]
"I feel good in Munich, it is a very beautiful city, all people have a lot of respect for me."
"I am happy because I work at FC Bayern, the club is very nice, a very important club in Europe."
"I have a very good team, I hope that this year everything will be good."
"We are pleased that the new season starts. We are ready for the first game against Bremen."
"The team has trained well this one month we can start very well."
You can win with your hands in your pockets? Ancelotti: "I have said that FC Bayern was then a team that was just very superior to others."
"And I hope that it will be this year as well, but if you have your hands in the pockets, you lose in football."
His return to the football stage after a year, Ancelotti: "That was not a problem, because I just love football..."
"It's just fun for me, I know how much pressure prevails in this job, every 3 days to prepare a game isn't really easy. But: it's fun."
Franck Ribery and the discussions about his elbow strikes, Ancelotti: "People exaggerate currently a little, with respect to Ribery..."
"Maybe he made a mistake against Dortmund when he lifted his arm when he was held by his opponent. But vs Jena nothing happened!"
"History teaches us that Ribery has always been a very correct player. I think we must now forget the matter and leave it at that."
"He trains well and is ready to start the season well."
"Today I can't say which player will play many games. It won't certainly be the case that there will be 11 starters and 11 reserves."
"We'll rotate a lot, some will play a few more games and some others a few less. Kimmich's advantage is that he can play in many positions."
"Xabi Alonso is very important, but on his position there are others that can play."
"Kimmich can play there, Thiago also, last season Vidal has often played on the six."
"Alonso knows the game very well, he is a strategist. But we can also have others, with slightly different strengths, play there."
Lahm's announcement to end his playing career in 2018, Ancelotti: "Wait! Lahm is very important for FC Bayern."
"Not only as a player but also as a person. He is an example for all. The longer he stays player, the better!"
Lahm's comparison to Paolo Maldini, Carlo: "Maldini with his 39 years won again the Champions League."
"Even if he had already major health problems, especially on his knees."
"Philipp Lahm has no problems, he is fit, trains very well, is always the first to come and the the last to leave."
"I am convinced that he can play until he is 39."
"This squad is on the whole very competitive. The performance level of the players is very close."
"I think that for this season all the players will have their missions."
Italian restaurants in Munich, Ancelotti: "I love to go to Bavarian restaurants."
"I stayed twice at an Italian restaurant, it was good..."
"But I love to go in Bavarian restaurants and my friend has a fantastic restaurant here..."
"I really like and I already know Nürnberg from Uli Hoeneß."
Visits from home, Ancelotti: "I expect in the next month to see my sister in Munich. She will take tortellini and mortadella."
Ancelotti: "I know that my German is not great, but I'm trying to learn it quickly. Usually I get three hours a week."
"Normally, if I have to give interviews, I can learn more."
"I always translate from Italian into German. The problem is that the grammar is also completely different from the English."
"I was told that 70 percent of the sets stop here with a verb. This is difficult for us to understand."
His speeches to the team, Ancelotti: "Normally, I explain the training in German, sometimes I speak English and Italian."
"With Arturo Vidal, Kingsley Coman, Rafinha and Franck Ribéry in Italian."
"I like to make jokes with the players. But they know when the time for jokes is and when it's time to take things seriously."
"I'll tell you jokes in the cabin. Depending on how the mood is, just when the players are nervous and tense..."
"Then I try to loosen the mood with a joke, even before important matches when the atmosphere is to be omitted..."
"Then I practice a little pressure."
"Of course that we will go to the Oktoberfest. The whole world comes to Munich to celebrate, so we are going to celebrate."
"I was 3 years ago for the first time at the Oktoberfest, it pleased me very much, I was invited by a friend, it was ... Wow! Wow!"

No problem but you should've credited @homebayern__ instead cause I borrowed it from there even I did some minor corrections.
"I haven't changed my style. I have changed a lot of things, the methodology of training that I changed a lot. The style of play I change depending on the characteristic of the players. But my style, my approach to the relationship with the players, I haven't changed," he said. "I have my character, good or bad I don't know, but I want to show my character in my relationship with people.""It is important that the players are comfortable and they can give their own ideas about how to improve that system. Of course you have to take into consideration the history, the tradition of the club. You can't play a defensive style in Munich or in Madrid because the history of the club is to play attacking football," he said.

"I prepared a video with Al Pacino motivating his football players with his brilliant speech. The only difference was I replaced the actors' faces with my own AC Milan players."It was a very emotional moment for me," said Ancelotti.I'd definitely compare my job with a film director. Like them, I have to work closely with a lot of people and build a team," he said. "Sometimes, it's just like in the movies, as though I'm illustrating my ideas to actors." Asked which actor would play "Don Carletto" in the Hollywood film of his life, Ancelotti had no hesitation in plumping for his favourite star Robert de Niro.

Did you know that today, October 6th, is Mad Hatter Day? I've been aware of this celebrated date for a few years now. Actually, I've wanted to post about it for about as long. Fact is, sometimes I feel like I live in a Mad Hatter kinda world:) I would imagine we all do every once in a while.
Mad Hatter Day is a holiday in October. It fills the need for a second crazy day in the year, almost exactly half a year from April Fools' Day. The real spirit of Mad Hatter Day is turnabout: The nonsense we usually have to pretend is sane can be called madness for one day in the year; the superficially crazy things that really make sense can be called sane on Mad Hatter Day. (resource)
For example, just the other day I was startled by Marion as I was sprawled out on the living room floor. Frankly, I can certainly understand her apprehension when she saw me with my ear to the floor, (so she thought:) It must have looked like that tell tale commercial where the woman squeals I've fallen and I can't get up" No laughing matter mind you. However, I had not fallen, nor was I doing a commercial. I was soaking my ear in cider vinegar. Yes, you read that correctly. I got bit by a mosquito and the itch on my ear was impossible to really get to so I decided to soak my ear in cider vinegar while I was doing my morning stretches. The vinegar was in a rather shallow bowl:) Marion "caught" me mid stream. It sure was a Mad Hatter sort of morning for her, I suppose:) (I realize a picture right about now sure would have been "touching.")
Mad Hatter Day celebrates the Mad Hatter, from Alice In Wonderful. The original picture of the Mad Hatter by John Tenniel in Alice's Adventures In Wonderland (more commonly known as Alice In Wonderland , by Lewis Caroll) always depicts him wearing a hat, bearing the note "In This Style 10/6". Although we know this is really an order from the time the picture was drawn to mean a hat in that style cost 10 Shillings and Sixpence, we take this as inspiration to act in the style of the Mad Hatter on 10/6 (In the UK this would point to the tenth of June, but as the day was founded in America it is the 6th of October).Capturing Magic
Unlike April Fools' Day, a pranksters dream come true sort of a day, Mad Hatter Day is more about topsy turvy or "In the Style of the Mad Hatter."
Mad Hatter Day began in Boulder, Colorado, in 1986, among some computer folk who had nothing better to do. It was immediately recognized as valuable because they caused less damage than if they'd been doing their jobs. It was announced that first year on computer networks. In 1987 it gained minor local recognition. In 1988, it was first recognized as an official holiday by an area business, and also received its first national press coverage by news services...
We are not having a Mad Hatter Tea Party today. That would be too obvious don't you think? Instead, I thought I would share a rather quirky cookbook with you. We have guests too.
I've been trying to find out about little Alice from Alice in Wonderland and of course the White Rabbit too. The only thing I have been able to decipher is, they may be called Baps Dolls and made in Germany. Further research needed:)
I also have some Surprisingly Smart Party Advice from the Mad Hatter. It comes from a very good source.
"Etiquette matters. Ensure all guests received a proper invitation to the party."
I hereby formally and indubitably invite you to explore the Queen of Hearts Cookbook.
The Red Queen broke the silence by saying to the White Queen, "I invite you to Alice's dinner-party this afternoon."
The White Queen smiled feebly, and said "And I invite you."
"I didn't know I was to have a party at all," said Alice; "but if there is to be one, I think I ought to invite the guests." Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll, Chapter 9, Queen Alice
Pasta Party Update
The Pasta Party is really in a twirl. We have three delicious entries so far and more on the way. Just in case you missed the Pasta Party invite, you can find out all about it right here.
I've also secured a fabulous resource for the winners. I'll tell you more about that as we mosey along:) right now, I want to share one more recipe with you. You see, today is also National Noodle Day! Not to be confused with National Noodle Month which is celebrated in March:) I find this Ramen Noodle Fudge recipe fits in quite appropriately. After all, a noodle is a pasta toooooooo...This recipe comes from Ramen Noodle Recipes
Chocolate Ramen Fudge
1 package (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 package (3 ounces) Ramen noodles, any flavor, broken into bite size pieces*

1. Line an 8 inch pan with foil, extending foil over edges of pan.
2. Place chocolate chips in medium microwave bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute; stir. Repeat, if necessary for 50-second intervals stirring after each, until completely melted. Mix in sweetened condensed milk, noodles, butter and vanilla.
3. Transfer mixture into prepared pan; spread evenly. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Remove from pan, peel off foil. Cut into squares.

Time Genies exceeded my expectations! I was hoping to get my home office organized along with some decluttering but I got much more than that. Working with Suzanne was fun. She made the whole process easier and taught me how to apply better organizing strategies going forward. The pay-off has continued from what I learned working with Time Genies. Highly recommend for every organizing project!!
I absolutely love seeing your post and the new creative things y'all come up with and I could really benefit from a 2 hour cleaning .....with 2 jobs in the household and being a full-time mom as well I could use as much help as possible.....thank you for the change and will look forwad8to seeing what else y'all may come up with 😁
I can't say enough good things about Karen Tonks and Time Genies.
Time Genies has been cleaning my home every other week since early 2016. It is so nice to come home from a busy work day to a spotless, fresh-smelling home. Karen has been so accommodating to work around my schedule and any special requests. Not only does her staff do a thorough cleaning job, they are considerate and conscientious. Before moving to this area, I used other services and most never measured up to my expectations. Time Genies has never disappointed me and consistently makes my home shine. Thank you for freeing up my weekends and providing a much appreciated service.
This is a wonderful company- easy and flexible for those schedule changes that tend to occur at the last minute. The staff is great- thorough, on-time, polite and eager to please.
I have been using Time Genies for almost a year now and they have been great. My life is much more stress-free and relaxing knowing they will be here to clean my home. They do an impressive job and have learned my intricacies concerning my home. I feel that my home and wishes are very important to them and appreciate their efforts very much. They are trustworthy and committed. I would highly recommend them!
Thank you Time Genies! My husband and I are now able to enjoy our weekends together! Your team does an amazing job!
I have to tell you how grateful we are to have Myra. She's so good to our pets, fun to communicate with, and we trust her.
Thank you Time Genies! You have made it possible for me to spend time being a new mom and wife instead of worrying about how to fit in chores and errands. I can now enjoy these precious experiences with my family and also have a happy clean home.
Love it when it is time for Time Genies to give me a hand with cleaning. Always do a beautiful job and so very crisp and fresh smelling when they are done. We love Time Genies. We are extremely happy with their service.
Words fail me when I try to describe the benefit of having Time Genies by my side as a busy mom of four. Hiring Time Genies to help me around the house with cleaning and organizing has saved me so much time... time that I have gotten to spend instead with my children making memories to last a lifetime. That's priceless and worth so much more than Time Genies costs. I'm going to start saving so I can hire them to organize and clean out my entire house -- making my life easier and better. There's nothing like coming home from a long hard day at work to a fresh home. It makes me a better mom! Thank you will never be enough!
Time Genies is helping our family with cleaning and organizing our house and my Dad's house. The tasks are very overwhelming to me. Everyone we have worked with has been very helpful, kind and efficient. I have worked with Karen in the past and she remains cheerful and encouraging, and she had wonderful ideas! I highly recommend Time Genies!
So pleased with the service I receive from Time Genies each time I use them. From beginning to end, the entire team goes out of their way to make sure all is done to my satisfaction with care and attention to detail. The house sparkles and smells so good after each time they clean and I love that they do it in half the time using two workers. As a busy mom running my own business, I so appreciate having Time Genies to help me whenever I need with whatever I need. Thank you, Karen and your fantastic team!
First off, Karen is friendly, professional and very personable. She will come by and do a quick walk-through of your place and ask what you are hoping to receive. I hit the jackpot with Barb, who is hard-working, trustworthy, and very nice. She is reliable too, always on time, and always focused on her work. I am very happy I learned of Time Genies. I am so appreciative of their help!
Time Genies were great in helping me pack and wrap things in my mother and dad's house! This team is phenomenal! They are always on time, efficient, hard-working, and go over and beyond what is expected. I would not hesitate to use this service again. I highly recommend Time Genies and they were life savers in helping me! Also, very reasonable priced.
Karen, I will never forget you. Your compassion, humor, and amazing ability to create
order out of chaos made the most difficult period of my life not only manageable but
fun. It is hard to express how much that meant to me. Your support was invaluable. I looked forward to your visits and we laughed so much it did not seem like work at all.
For all of that, I am deeply grateful.
I love Time Genies. They are fast, friendly and do a great job every time. Best of all they are flexible to meet my busy family's schedule. I recommend them to anyone.
I was absolutely desperate for someone to take care of my 1 year old pup "Lucy" for 10 days after my regular sitters became unavailable. I called Time Genies and within 24 hrs Karen had given me the name of a sitter. Myra and her husband opened their home to my "not so disciplined" Lucy. Myra sent a picture of Lucy or a text describing her "adventures" at least every other day. My husband & I travel quite a bit and Myra is our top choice for puppy care. Thank you Karen!!
All I can say is WOW!
You and your team (Suzanne and Laura) have made my life so much easier in the past 23 days, and that's just me! What you ladies have done for my mom is nothing short of amazing!
Moving my parents could have been utterly dreadful for all concerned; but your patience, wisdom, and management of the packing, organizing, and purging, made this huge life event simple!
You and your team have made what could have been an exhausting, troublesome, frustrating time, and made it pain-free, humorous, and enjoyable for my mother; and for that I am forever grateful.
And best of all, both my mom and I now concerned you all, friends.
Looking forward to working with you again soon. I will be working on a schedule for when my mother will be back in Hickory for more organizing, purging, and finally some cleaning.
I just started using Time-Genies and have quickly found out I don't want to do without them ever again! Fabulous job cleaning. Polite. On time. Always ready to listen to what I need. Love me some Time-Genies!!
I truly am blessed that I found Time Genies. I'm a mother of 2 boys, so things get a little hectic around the house. When they come to clean my house, I get excited because that's one less thing I
have to do. They're professional and are experts at what they do. I highly recommend them to clean your house.
Karen has been managing our rental home for the past 5 months. She leads a responsive, dependable team! Our guests often mention how clean our home is. When the unexpected occurs, she goes above and
beyond. I highly recommend Karen and her team.
Karen and the crew are the ultimate professionals. The house was transformed and shining. They handled the mess with ease. Very reasonable as well. I highly recommend!
Karen and the crew are the ultimate professionals. They really are cleaning genies. The house looked sparkling! Very reasonable as well. I highly recommend!
They live up to their names. They indeed were time Genies. We had only a couple days between closing on our new home and moving in and I have some very particular people in my house that wanted it
deep cleaned, almost operating condition, prior to us moving in and they made it happen. We had to go by while the cleaning was taking place and it was amazing the speed , determination, know-how and
friendliness everyone at Time Genies showed. Our house is immaculate thanks to Karen and the Time Genies.
Fantastic service! Great people! Time Genies has been a life saver. From feeding and walking our dog when we go out of town, to emergency trips to the house to put delivered medications in the
fridge. Karen has always been there when we needed her. I never hesitate to call her when we need help. I look forward to working with Karen far into the future. Having Karen means we never have to
worry when we need help or go out of town.
Grateful to find such a excellent service company!
Karen and Kris were wonderful to work with. We hired Time Genies to organize and clean out my Father-In-Laws house after his wife died. They made a mountain of a job into a fun and enjoyable
experience! They were professional and efficient! Thanks for the laughs ladies, see you next time!
I have enjoyed not having the worry of cleaning my house wall to wall. Instead I can spend that time with my children. In this busy season of little ones and their messes, cleaning can be very
overwhelming to a mom. Lorie and Diana are both great. They do a fantastic job each time they are here. Anything I ask of them, they do. Thank you Karen for this company and their thoroughness!
A group of us wanted to help a friend who was going through a very stressful season in her life. As a gift, we contacted Karen at Time Genies for help to alleviate some of her stress. Karen
accommodated us on a short notice and Jessica and Diana were efficient and thorough in cleaning our friend's home. They did an excellent job! Our friend came home and could not be more grateful! And
we, the group of friends, could not be more satisfied with Time Genies! Thanks you Karen!
As a Realtor, I often refer Karen to my clients. She recently assisted two of my clients in their move from a townhome to their new home in Catawba Springs. They were amazed at Karen's energy,
positive attitude, and ability to help them get organized and make a smooth move to their new home.
Time Genies did a fantastic job cleaning my house! They did everything I wanted. I am selling the house and it looks wonderful for the showings. Karen was a delight to work with!
I was 110% satisfied!! Karen is friendly, professional and accommodating. I highly recommend her cleaning services!
Time Genies has been a HUGE relief for me!
I LOVED how the owner came and did a walk through with me first and listened to all that I wanted done! She then came with her girls the first day to make sure it was done to my satisfaction.
ALL the girls are so pleasant and hard-working. You feel like they REALLY want to please you and make sure the job was done well.
What I liked the most is that they made weekly adjustments until I was completely satisfied!
I would 100% recommend thiscompany to anyone! I\'m a pregnant mother of 3 and the relief to have someone reliable and trustworthy that can help me out at this time
Is PRICELESS and I am so grateful for a company like Time Genies!
I called Karen at Time Genies after seeing her post in Thumbtack. I had been thinking about getting a cleaning service some time. Karen was able meet with me and give me an estimate for bi-weekly
cleaning the very same day. Her rate was quite reasonable, so I decided to give Time Genies a try.
Jessica arrived on schedule the first day and we went through the house and what I needed done, and she proceeded to clean from top to bottom quickly and efficiently. Jessica was very personable and
Two weeks later Jessica arrived with a helper and they worked well together. They cleaned the entire house in half the time, and again both were very personable and pleasant.
Each time I was asked if there was anything else I wanted done or if they had missed anything. I added a minor few things.
Overall I am very pleased with the service and people. Also they have all gone out of their way to work around my 90 year old father and to make him feel comfortable. I highly recommend Time Genies.
Karen is a gem. Very friendly, helpful and offered great suggestions, as I had never done this before. We went through each room and discussed what needed to be done. I can\'t tell you how good it
feels to come home to a clean, fresh smelling home. Jessica does a great job. I am so glad I decided to have Time Genies help me take care of my home. I would highly recommend them!
Very reassuring with the professionalism and obvious concern with with we desired. Finished service most satisfactory. Looking forward to long relationship.
Amazing service and personal touch! Great staff very friendly and professional. Karen knows how to read you as a client and tailor the services to meet your needs! You will love them!
All I can say is that if you need the services of this company you will not find a better one. They are great at what they do and will stand behind all they say and do! I have been completely
satisfied with their work. They are on time and very professional. I would recommend you try them out!I have tried others in the past but these ladies are the best hands down!YOU WILL NOT BE
I met Karen back in June, about a week after I had told friends that I needed a professional organizer to help me declutter my house. Karen came out to my house for a free consultation and we kind of
looked through the house and decided what was most important. The kitchen is where we decided to start. Karen and one of her staff came out in early July and worked non stop for five hours. They are
seriously hard workers. Karen came in with a plan and my kitchen is so clean and organized now. It just makes me happy to walk in it now. They actually got done with my kitchen early and then
continued to find things to do around my house until their scheduled time to work was over. It was amazing. I can't brag on them enough and I am planning to have Karen come back and help me with some
other tasks. She won't disappoint you with any assignment, of that I am positive.
Get me started on you and Cathy and I can't stop. You are both awesome at your work Cathy is GREAT. so appreciate you both.
My daugher recently had a baby and my Dad was coming to visit NICE! My house had been neglected and my 16 year old son and I were not at all jazzed about the amount of work needed to make it
presentable for Grampy's visit. NOT NICE. Sabina at the Chamber mentioned Karen and connected us in short time. VERY NICE. Karen and a partner came to my home, got it shipshape in no time. SUPER NICE
Since then I have had my house cleaned every 2 weeks and I LOVE IT. It's like a Christmas present for me every 2 weeks. SOOOO NICE. So the next time you are overwhelmed with anything call Karen you
won't regret it and she is REALLY NICE.
I have really enjoyed having Karen and her team help organize and de-clutter my home! It can be a really overwhelming task, but she makes a person feel at ease. She is very reassuring and helpful.
Lots of great ideas! I appreciate all of her help! My family loved the new kitchen and dining room area after it was de-cluttered! It was wonderful to eat meals at the table again. And it feels so
good to walk into a neater, more spacious room!
Awesome! Efficient! Friendly! Affordable!
Can't say enough about Karen and her Genies. They did a great job cleaning and de-cluttering. I will for sure use them again - soon!
Karen has become an instrumental part of my family's life. She consistently goes above and beyond to provide excellent service. I cannot thank Time Genies enough....Time Genies is the "wind beneath
my SuperMom cape". :D
Thank you for re-arranging, cleaning and straightening out my kitchen cabinets. It was the best Mothers Day present. It only took you a few hours - but want a difference it makes for someone to do it
for me.
Thanks again,
Karen is fantastic. She is effective, efficient, full of energy, and a pleasure to be around. We will continue to use her services.
Coming home from work to a clean house yesteray was priceless! I am done with feeling overwhelmed by housekeeping. With a husband, preschooler, 2 indoor dogs and a full-time job, sacrifices just have
to be made....Not anymore! Thank you Time Genies. I have peace of mind, and you have a permanent client.
Time Genies is wonderful and Karen pays attention to detail and the needs of her clients. She recently cleaned some blinds for me and did a wonderful job. It saved me precious time and allowed me to
focus my attention elsewhere. Thanks again for the work that you do and your wonderful customer service!
Working full time has made it a little difficult to be a "perfectionist" at home. Thank goodness for Time Genies!! Karen is FABULOUS! She took care of some much needed mini blind cleaning for me. It
saved me hours and more time to be with family. She is trustworhty and very thorough on eveyrhing she does. Will be using her agian in the future! An added bonus......her accent!!! :-) Thanks again
Time Genies
Can't rave enough about Karen and TIME GENIES! I was that "super mom" that tried to do everything at home and at work but in all honesty, I was becoming overwhelmed and my time with my family was
suffering for it. I heard about Karen from a friend who had used TIME GENIES and I finally sucked up my pride and made the call. I am so very glad I did! She came to my house for a consultation and
with her calm and friendly nature, she reassured me right from the first 5 minutes that all would be well. We worked out a plan and I could feel the stress lifting immediately. I can't enforce enough
what a great feeling it is to know that all the small errands and jobs are being taken care which now allows me more time to spend with my kids and husband. Being a working mother is hard work but to
know there is someone out there that I can call on to help me when it's needed, that truly makes me a SUPER MOM! Oh and that Scottish accent she has....I could listen to her all day!
My business has used Time Gnies to supplement my staff whenwe have large moves. It is soooo nice to be able to say, Karen, will yuo unpack the boxes in the bedroom? and to check in later to see that
she has done just what I asked. In fact, she goes beyond just doing what I ask, she is like the nurse on an operating room and anticipates my and my clients' needs. I appreciate her ease and caring
My wife and I went to the beach for a long weekend with some friends. We needed someone reliable to take care of Charlie, our daughter's dog. She is away at NCSU so he is really "our" dog. Karen came
over four times to feed, water and walk Charlie while we were gone. She made a tirp over to meet Charlie and to see what we needed her to do. She did a great job while we were away at a very fair
rate. I will definitely use Time Genies next time we go out of town.
I recently moved to our first home in Hickory, NC. We came with a moving truck FULL of stuff to unpack! However due to my work schedule and my wife being 7 months pregnant we did not have the time to
unpack it all. I saw an ad for "Time Genies" on Facebook and gave them a call. Professionalism was my first impression! They were able to work with our schedules to find a time that was best. My wife
said the lady that came was prompt, friendly, and very productive. She helped my wife go through 8 bags of clothes. When I came home our closet was full with neatly hung dress shirts and dresses, and
the wardrobe had the rest of our clothes neatly folded and organized in drawers. That task alone would have taken us hours to complete on our own, she had it finished in 2 hours!!!! I can't say
enough nice things about Time Genies! Inexpensive, friendly, and efficient! We will definitely be repeat customers, especially once the baby is here! Thanks again Time genies!!!
A fast and efficient service. Well worth it!
